You can skip some filler episodes.
I barely know who he is. A popular, rich influencer. That’s the beginning and end of my knowledge.
he got famous by giving away money, now he’s giving away money with extra steps (those steps being various degrees of having to “earn it” through challenges) so he’s basically became a game show host
I remember someone awhile ago described him as a rich guy giving away life changing amounts of money so long as the pesents dance for him.
tbh despite how accurate this description it i understand why he does that. To give away money you need to have money, and he makes his money by creating videos on YouTube, a video where someone does a challenge and earns a million dollars is going to be much more popular than a video of him just walking around and giving people money (again)
I mean I just think of him as zoomer game show host. So that’s a bit harsh.
Most of his challenges either are straight rips or would feel right at home in survivor/fear factor, then some challenges are just big brother straight up.
But I suppose you can say the same thing about all game shows that have normal folks on it competing for life changing amounts of money.
If you leave autoplay on it will probably be the very next video.
If I got a completely new account, watch the first video showed up on the home page and leave the Autoplay on, isn’t that just the algorithm jerking itself off?
No different from how it normally works, imo. The YT algorithm is shit and it only suggests the same content over and over, sometimes figuratively as it shares content which approximates successful content or sometimes literally because it will just share the same stuff on repeat.
If you disable all watch history for your account they will simply refuse to recommend anything on the home page, so you’ll have to use the search bar and maybe start with the first video ever published like OP did with the elephants and the YT founder.
Funny you mentioned that. YT took away my homepage in order to force me turn on watch history. Instead I changed my habit and only watch stuffs on my Subscription tab. My daily YT time decreased from 4-6 hours a day (I know, I’m kinda addicted), down to just 40-60 minutes a day.
And you guess what, in less than a month, my YT homepage magically returned 😂😂😂 I didn’t do anything, it just reappear one day. But it kinda too late, I’m already picked up a new hobby and my YT time keep decreasing.
Too bad I’m just a fluke in the statistics, and wouldn’t matter whatsoever. A lot of people cave in and turn on watch history.
That is so annoying, how YT’s algorithm just wants to show you the same thing.
Being Google and all, I would expect them to have a sophisticated algorithm that learns your daily patterns and gets really good at what kind of content you want to watch next. But no, it’s “yo dawg I saw you watched a car video so I queued up car videos to play after your other car videos!”
It’s not a mystery why, though. I assume their algorithm is much better at keeping people watching anything for as long as possible, rather than delivering the best product.
Well, I didn’t have to look far on my end.
When is the best place to start I don’t want to miss any significant arcs
January of 2006. It takes a while to get going, but 2012-16 is a wild ride.
